Hi, there already was a thread on this topic in summer but with no result: http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/4b433f881e3585b2/a36ccba40ef2e59d?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Re%3A+D-Link+DFE-580TX+4+port+NIC+problems#a36ccba40ef2e59d Adi tracked down, that the messages in the syslog (in my case appearing exactly every 30 seconds), come from snmpd running on the same machine calling SIOCDEVPRIVATE. This behaviour still exists in 2.6.23.1 I'm neither a skilled C-programmer nor a kernel-expert, but looking at drivers/net/sundance.c:1605 I see, that SIOCDEVPRIVATE does nothing else then printing this debug message. So the questions is: why? What is this good for? And: can I remove it? I can not abandon snmpd and the messages spam my syslog. Or: do I have to patch snmpd? Regards Volker -> Please CC: me, I'm not on the list <- P.S.: there's no one in the MAINTAINERS file for sundance.c. Is someone here who still cares about this driver?
